WASHINGTON, June 2 (Reuters) - The U.S. Commerce Department
has issued a subpoena to Huawei Technologies Co Ltd as
part of a probe into the Chinese technology company's
transactions in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria, the
New York Times reported on Thursday.

Citing a copy of the subpoena sent to the Shenzhen,
China-based Huawei, the Times said the department is demanding
the company turn over all its information on the export or
re-export of U.S. technology to those countries.

The request comes as part of the United States'
investigation into whether Huawei broke export controls in its
dealings with the five countries, which face U.S. restrictions
over their exports amid ongoing disputes such as the war in
Syria.

Huawei had not been accused of wrongdoing, and the subpoena
is administrative, not criminal, in nature, the Times said.

Huawei declined comment on the subpoena but said it abides
by the laws and regulations of the countries it operates in.

"In particular, Huawei has a strict code of conduct,
rigorous training, and detailed policies relating to export
control compliance and actively cooperates with the relevant
government agencies, including the Department of Commerce,
regarding Huawei's compliance with export control laws," a
company spokesperson said in an email.

A Commerce Department spokesman declined comment.

Huawei is a world leader in producing telecommunications
equipment and has six U.S. research centers, though it is a bit
player in America's telecoms infrastructure market.
